Well after nine months of sitting on a free upgrade downloaded to DVD (and with Mountain Lion already out!), I finally got up off my a** and installed Lion. All told, it took about just under two hours. It’s a little different; it seems to run a little smoother than Snow Leopard, and that’s a good thing.
The only issue at this point is making iCloud behave the way I want it to. That will be a challenge to say the least.
